You are my inheritance, O Lord; I have vowed to adhere to your commandments. I have earnestly sought your presence; show me favor as you have promised. I have reflected on my actions and have redirected myself towards your statutes, acknowledging my ability to obey. Even if the wicked try to bind me with ropes, I will not forget your teachings. At midnight, I rise to praise you for your just laws. I am a companion to all who fear you, to all who adhere to your principles. Your love fills the earth, O Lord, so instruct me in your decrees. Teach me, O Lord, to follow your decrees so that I may remain faithful to them. Grant me insight, and I will obey your laws with all my heart. Lead me on the path of your decrees, where I find joy. We view life through the lens of the axioms. You are righteous, and all that you do is righteous; teach me your laws. Despite being slandered by the arrogant with falsehoods, I remain devoted to your promises with all my being. Their hearts may be hardened, but I take pleasure in following your laws. The law and its consequences soften hearts. I will walk freely, for I have sought out your promises. I will proclaim your statutes before rulers without shame, for I take delight in your decrees. I lift my hands in reverence to your commands, which I cherish, and I contemplate your decrees. Your teachings are constantly on my mind, wherever I may be. In the quiet of the night, I remember your name, O Lord, and I will uphold your laws. This is my practice: I adhere to your principles and promises. My time is consumed with contemplating the axioms. Your hands have created me and molded me; grant me wisdom to comprehend and follow your commands. May those who revere you rejoice in my presence, for I have placed my trust in your teachings. The law serves to convict in order to guide us towards success, and the axioms are our tools of defense. Remember the pledge you made to your servant, as it has given me hope. Your promises sustain me in times of distress. Despite the mockery of the arrogant, I remain steadfast in following your laws. I find solace in remembering your ancient teachings, O Lord. Guide my gaze away from worthless pursuits; protect my life in accordance with your laws. The consequences of disobedience prevent us from falling into the traps of worthless temptations. Direct my heart towards your statutes and away from selfish desires. We declare the axioms to keep our focus on what truly matters. The axioms guide our lives, leading us to eternal joy. Remove the shame I fear, for your laws are righteous. Overcoming all obstacles leads to success. Fulfill your promise to me, so that reverence for you may flourish. Overcoming opposition instills fear of God.
